Impressive Grade II listed farmhouse with separate 2 bedroom barn, private garden and further development potential.

Description

The Old Butchers occupies a prominent position in the sought after village of Wardington. Believed to date back to 1670 and once two properties, this substantial Grade II listed farmhouse offers a rare opportunity to acquire a home of genuine period charm, combined with the comforts and versatility of modern living. Significantly enhanced and improved during the current owner’s 27 year tenure, the property retains an abundance of original character. Exposed stone and brickwork, beams, fireplaces and window seats are all found throughout the house, while thoughtful renovations and updates have ensured it remains a practical and inviting home for 21st century living.

The main house is arranged over two floors, with a unique yet highly functional and versatile layout, full of light and charm. On the ground floor, the kitchen/ breakfast room forms the heart of the home: a bright and welcoming space, fitted with a range of contemporary units, extensive work surfaces and high quality Neff appliances. There is ample space for a dining table, making it ideal for family living or entertaining. The cosy sitting room features a fireplace with wood burning stove, wooden flooring, and a staircase leading to the first floor. There is also a separate drawing room, formal dining room, and additional reception room benefitting from flexibility for a study, playroom or further seating area. Completing the ground floor is a useful utility room, a cellar, and a downstairs shower room.

The first floor can be accessed via two staircases. The principal bedroom enjoys its own dressing area and ensuite shower room. There are three further generously proportioned bedrooms, light and full of individual charm, all facilitated by a modern family bathroom. The loft is also fully boarded and insulated, with light, power and loft ladder access providing extra storage.

Across the courtyard is an exceptional two bedroom barn conversion (The Old Butchers Barn). Finished to a very high standard, its striking vaulted ceiling and open plan layout give an impressive sense of space and light, while exposed timbers and stone details echo the character of the main house. There is an open plan kitchen/ dining area, with an extensive range of units, work surfaces and breakfast island, while the sitting room benefits from bi-folding doors which open on to the garden patio. The oak and glass staircase lead to a galleried landing where there are two double bedrooms – one with an en suite – and a family bathroom. This delightful property lends its self perfectly to use as an annexe or multi-generational living.
